The local scene looks after its own.
Marcel Smuts has put in the work for the scene and now it's our turn to show up for him. Come through, catch some great live music, and help out someone who's helped build the community we all love.

Winter doesn't kill the scene. Defrost Fest is here. Two nights of raw energy, distortion, sweat, and everything that refuses to stay quiet.
This isn't background music. This is the sound of a city thawing out.
Tickets:
R100 per day

Expect heavy riffs, unpredictable sets, and a crowd that actually came for the music. Pull through. Bring your people. Lose your voice.

This one's for the heavy.
14 bands. Two stages. From early afternoon, it's a constant rotation of noise, energy, and zero downtime. Inside and outside stages running back-to-back, with the outdoor stage powered by As Above Audio, keeping the pressure on from start to finish.
No filler, no slowing down, just band after band bringing it harder than the last.
Tickets:
Phase 1 — R150 SOLD OUT
Phase 2 — R200
Phase 3 — R250
Door — R300
Pull up early and settle in. State Of The Nation VI is built to be loud, heavy, and all day long.
